Ribboned dress - I\'m puzzled - ?\'s
I may not even list this as I really have trouble photographing shiny stuff (no reflector yet) AND I don't have a bigger mannequin.
But I am very curious.
I believe this was ribboned after the pattern was cut. Could that be? The neckline and arm holes are all finished in the same zigzag pattern (not the hem and you would think it would have been). The front pattern of stylized paislies at the top cannot be found anywhere else and the paislies at the back are bookmatched. As you can see on the inside the ribbon work has not been cut in to. I hope I'm making sense.
There are no labels anywhere. It is fully lined and well-made.
And date - are we 90s????
As always, many thanks!
